Dear Sir,
As you are the agent for Dr. Frank Sykes, guardian of the minor heirs of Dr Sam B Malone, Decd, I write to say I am unwilling to keep the girl (Tildy-Ann) belonging to one of said heirs. I agreed to keep her this year free of hire (save for her food & clothes &c. If however you wish it, & are willing to let her remain on the same terms I will agree to it, because I dislike much to part her from her two little children. I would however much prefer to purchase her or have her taken away if you do not agree to her remaining free of any hire. Let me hear from you.
Very Respctly
Alfred Y Glover
